Just a quick update on the little jobs that we have been doing at the house!
This was the laundry room when I moved in, and I am in the process of turning it into a walk-in closet!
I still need to add a more permanent storage area where the clothes rack is, and some hooks and shelves, but it's getting there!
The loft/attic is almost a functioning room now, too! Thanks to plenty of paintable wall paper and some elbow grease it went from this...
To this...
The living room has been our big focus in the past week or so. It isn't livable yet, but it has come a long way! We ripped the drywall off the ceiling to expose the tongue and groove ceiling underneath. It is primed in this picture, but not painted. The fireplace needs to be painted white, the floor sanded, and a light fixture installed before I move furniture in.
I picked up this deviled egg plate a few months ago at an antique shop, and then saw in a magazine that someone had used it for earrings and things which I thought was a great idea!
Eventually, my closet will have a wall of jewelry board frames a lot like this one. I have used a jewelry board before and find it really convenient, so I like the idea of having a whole bunch of them!
I got this chest of drawers at a thrift shop for $15, and painted the outside and the inside!
Another find from the antique shop- he looked so much like Mo that I had to have him!
Mo decided to help us paint the other day! There were paw prints on the wall and floor, and his paws are still covered in paint!
